A look back to a title played on a chunky grey Game Boy.</p> <p> <table><tr><td> <a href="/bbs/?pid=157780#p"> <img src="/bbs/thumbs/pico8_gb_asteroids-0.png" style="height:256px"></a> </td><td width=10></td><td valign=top> <a href="/bbs/?pid=157780#p"> gb_asteroids</a><br><br> by <a href="/bbs/?uid=107022"> grie</a> <br><br><br> <a href="/bbs/?pid=157780#p"> [Click to Play]</a> </td></tr></table> </p> <img loading="lazy" style="margin-bottom:16px" border=0 src="/media/107022/10_controls.png" alt="" /> <hr /> <h2>v0</h2> <p>Navigate the admittedly unnervingly tight space and clear the area to rank up the points.</p> <p>There is no screen to display the high scores, only one you may want to improve. Alas there is also no sound, be it a high-pitch sound effect or a low-key, syncopating beat. I struggle with music and ultimately decided not to venture in the two docks. I might add them as I learn more about the panels, but in the meantime, you are more than welcomed to take the cart and add your tracks.

If you've just discovered the series maybe don't look at #2 too intently :) </p> <p>When you do, give all props to <a href="https://johanvinet.tumblr.com/">johanvinet</a>, a true pixel art wiz.</p> <hr /> <p>The premise of a jigsaw puzzle is deceptively simple: </p> <ol> <li> <p>take a fully formed picture</p> <img loading="lazy" style="margin-bottom:16px" border=0 src="/media/107022/picture.png" alt="" /> </li> <li> <p>scramble the pieces to make an undistinguishable mess</p> <img loading="lazy" style="margin-bottom:16px" border=0 src="/media/107022/picture-pieces.png" alt="" /> </li> <li>find it in your heart to restore the set</li> </ol> <p>Now, you would think that the limitations of a single cell in the PICO-8 editor would be too much to support the concept &mdash; how much character can you give to a cell 8 pixels wide and tall? &mdash;, but the amazing creators behind the console prove otherwise. </p> <p>Need an example? Here some. And if you have ever lamented the small, pico-sized numbers &mdash; <em>&quot;there are only a few squares&quot;</em>, <em>&quot;there are just a handful of colors&quot;</em> &mdash; this time you'll be right to complain: <em>&quot;these are just too many&quot;</em>.</p> <p>art <a href="https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?uid=11477"> @johanvinet</a><br /> code <a href="https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?uid=107022"> @grie</a> -- hey, that's me!</p> <hr /> <h2>Updates</h2> <p>2024-10-29 &mdash; Fixed error found by <a href="https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?uid=78803"> @mabbees</a> which caused a crash clearing some (by my estimations four) levels</p> https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=144873 https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=144873 Tue, 22 Oct 2024 07:32:36 UTC
